Chapter 350 A New Familiar

-----

When we arrived at the Adventurer's Guild Entrance, we were greeted with a ruckus, coming while carrying a bag of heads bleeding over the floor, while also bringing a beautiful young lady in my arms really shocked everybody in there. At this hour most adventurers come to eat dinner and drink until night in the adventurer guild.

"W-Who are those?"

"Wait, that's Elearose!"

"That's the kid that is always with her…"

"Ugh, that reeks like shit! What are they bringing with them?!"

"The other day she brought five bandit heads, I heard…"

"Shit… She's a real deal…"

Elearose had made herself quite the reputation. We had been approached by a few other adventurers over our time as ones, wanting mostly to add her to their party as she was incredibly strong and competent, of course, that was impossible as she was my Spirit. Those that got turned down accepted it in a variety of ways. Some angrily tried to hit her in the face and received a good beating, while some accepted it humbly and then moved on.

"W-Welcome…" The receptionist looked at us.

"Can we talk upstairs?" Asked Eleanora.

"As usual." I said.

"A-As usual… Very well." She sighed.

We quickly moved upstairs and greeted the Guild Master. We swiftly showed him our bag of heads, including the bounty of five hundred thousand Telis, he was shocked as always.

"Y-You hunted this bastard?! You know he's like… super fucking strong?!" He asked in shock. "He had been running away for years! The last time I fought him, he ran away when I gave him an opening… And now you just bring me back his head like its nothing…" The Guild Master looked at us in surprise. "And who's that girl?!"

"M-My name is Frederica Eastbern… I-I am a Noble that was kidnaped by these bandits…" Frederica spoke as we instructed her.

"Frederica Eastbern?!" The Receptionist asked. "We have been looking for you for so long! There is a bounty of a million Telis made by your father! He has been so worried about you, dear!"

"Eh?! My father has been looking for me?! Is my father here?!" Frederica asked.

"No, but I'll contact him right away, he should be coming tomorrow morning if I tell him through a magic device!" Said the guild master.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! Frederica began to cry while being on my arms. At the end, I managed to place her over a seat. Eleanora also brought out all the servants within her shadows.

"T-That's Shadow Sneak?" Asked the Guild Master. "And the servants…"

"I-I didn't knew you had such Skill, Elearose…" The receptionist said.

"It is within the policy of the adventurer guild that its not necessary to disclose personal information." Eleanora said.

"Yeah, that's right." I said.

The receptionist and the guild master looked at one another and then sighed.

"Yeah, yeah… But you have so many secrets its hard to accept it so easily." Sighed the girl.

"For now, we should quickly bring you the money of the bounty, the reward for bringing Frederica and her servants will be paid by her father tomorrow." Said the guild master, quickly using a device similar to a telephone to send a message to the Noble.

After we were given our sack of coins, Frederica and her servants were brought to the receptionist and the guild master's home, which was right behind the adventurer guild, it was humbler than I had thought. I used some healing magic on everybody, and imbued Ki into them to keep their vitality strong. I made Frederica eat an Apple from Apul as well to recover her hunger and exhaustion, and then she fell asleep right after taking a warm bath and being given humbler but cleaner clothes to wear.

"She's sleeping like an angel…" Sighed the receptionist.

"Well, we are going now, it is very late." Said Eleanora.

"Yeah, we'll come back tomorrow morning to check how things are." I said.

"Very well then! Have a nice night." She said.

We trusted her so we didn't had to worry… although I left two Huggins watching over the house, and two Fenrir hiding inside Frederica's shadow just to make sure she's safe. When we returned back home, I sat down over my bed while Eleanora quickly went to her [Petit Form] and covered herself in blankets, she seemed exhausted.

"You're not sleeping, my lord?" She wondered, inviting me to cuddle with her.

"I'll be absorbing the Spirit Orbs for now, but you can sleep if you so desire." I said, beginning to slowly absorb each Vampiric Spirit Orb extracted from the bandits.

? "Sigh… Very well then…" She yawned.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning. I had successfully absorbed all of the Spirit Orbs, and my stats had risen slightly as I checked my Status… However, there was something new as well, from the over thirty Spirit Orbs, I was only able to get a single new Spirit Familiar. Unlike monsters which are a guarantee, people's spirits are only a small chance, so this only meant I had terrible luck or perhaps that chance had decreased as I absorbed too many spirit orbs from people… nonetheless, I had acquired a single spirit familiar, and well, it was the one I was the most interested on anyways.

[You acquired the [Material (F Grade)] Familiar Spirit]

"Material, huh… You've become black colored and are smaller, but you're indeed that ruffian's Spirit…" I said with a smile, admiring the big, black-colored axe in my hands.

It was a Living Weapon made into a Familiar.

I never thought this could actually be a thing… but it seems to be possible. With this, I can mass produce a weapon that can understand basic words and even attack on its own when wielded by someone. I am not really that good using axes, but I might as well try them out now.
